glitter in the wound

“There is no room under my bed for his notes and postcards, his words drift upwards into my ears as I sleep, and I want to hoover under there.”

Emma is talking about rape.
Talking openly. About surviving rape, and living with mental illness.
She thinks that these are conversations we should be having more often.

Emma knows that everyone has their own vulnerabilities, and that covering yourself in glitter and getting a hamster might not be your cup of tea, but she invites you along for the ride as she reclaims space, is thoroughly her odd self and celebrates being joyfully vulnerable.

Glitter in the Wound is a new, solo autobiographical work-in-progress piece exploring mental health, sexual violence and feminism, in an honest and uplifting way.

Age Suitability 14+
